Thought of you, @itsalldhamma. Interesting replies, too.

What would happen if we saw school related distress as feedback on the system? As a psychologist, I meet many children who are distressed by school. Usually I’m being asked to change that. Can I make them less anxious? Can I make them attend without protest? 1/

There are certain people you cared for professionally who you never forget. And regrets, sometimes, for actions that could have been more skillfully taken.

There are certain events that bring all that back.

You can name the stars anything you want to. No one will stop you. No one gave the other guys permission.

[Pagan Chaplain @PaganChaplain]

@itsalldhamma Yeah, I like that way of looking at it. Wishing you the best - if it's a job you'd love.

Yes, all is well here, thanks. I hope the same for you and M.

[Pagan Chaplain @PaganChaplain]

@itsalldhamma How frustrating. Is that a rhetorical question?

Sending a hug.

[Pagan Chaplain @PaganChaplain]

@itsalldhamma We've all lost so much these last years. While I'm glad you have something that measures that loss in one specific area of your life, I'm sorry if it keeps you from employment at the level you've earned. May you land in a beautiful situation.

[Pagan Chaplain @PaganChaplain]

Food for thought for me. And possibly for others of my ilk.

What actually happens during mandatory wellness training modules?

[Pagan Chaplain @PaganChaplain]

Theologically sound, in my opinion.

Probably true as well for ritual of all religions/none.

[Swamp Witch Advice @SwampAdvice]

Healing is a process, not a destination. It is a ritual, not a single spell. All magic, at its heart, is an attempt at healing.

OP added: Obviously I meant "single occupancy".

Very pleased that the single-use bathrooms in my @UUtah office building now have information about WHAT is in them, rather than signs about WHO can use them.

A short thread.

#science #magic

[The CryptoNaturalist (Jarod K. Anderson) @CryptoNature]

I love science.
I also love the concept of magic.
I don't find that these ideas conflict.
Fact and magic go together like sound and song,
like ink and poetry,
like truth and metaphor.
A good metaphor does not destroy the truth.
It brings it home to a human context. (1/4)

Cis people: I need you to understand (and help others understand) that “the trans debate” is NOT relevant “to only a small number of people” but to everyone. Thread below for why:

(This is focused on cis women, but cis dudes I need you to listen too. You are also in danger.)

@Markrology I'd love to hear what you're willing to share about this talk, Mark.

[Pagan Chaplain @PaganChaplain]

Pass the word to the teens you know.

#ReadBannedBooks

[Goodable @Goodable]

The Brooklyn Public Library has announced that any teenager in America is now eligible for a Brooklyn Public Library card.

Teens can sign out ebooks + audiobooks from wherever they live.

The move is designed to combat censorship, with some titles listed as "always available."

During the last 10 nights of Ramadan, many Muslims spend more time in Mosques in contemplation & prayer.

Mosque ceilings are designed to reflect the magnificence of the universe.

For Ramadan, here are spectacular details of 24 Mosque ceilings from around the world…

A thread…

[Pagan Chaplain @PaganChaplain]

Of particular interest to #NeoPagans, perhaps especially to those of us who have never seen a standing stone or barrow in person. (thread and replies)

[Tim Hannigan @Tim_Hannigan]

I just noticed that something called "Morvah Standing Stones" now features on Google Maps, complete with visitor reviews. I'm rather delighted about this, because the "forgotten people of the past" who built it were Terry Davey and his front-loader, in the late 1990s.

[Pagan Chaplain @PaganChaplain]

@JMShumway Had to read this multiple times, but yes, I do recall those times in my own mind.
